Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Toby’s toughness just now was nowhere to be found at this moment and he was weeping his eyes out. “It’s not like that, Mr. Winthrop. Let me explain. I…”

“Your so-called ‘nephew’ has already told me the whole truth at the door just now.” Although Callum spoke calmly, his voice held great power.

“What?! Didn’t he stop you?” Jaxon has been looking for the murderer of his parents all this while, so why would he let Callum in?

Just then, Callum used the blade of the dagger to lift Toby’s chin. Coupled with the chill from his aura, Toby’s heart race, as though it was going to stop anytime.

“He did, but he didn’t need to. After all, you know better than anyone who killed his parents.”

As soon as Callum turned around, a young man walked in, a stream of light shining behind him.

Jaxon looked at Toby, who was in front of him, with a hint of resentment in his expression. “Do whatever you want to him, Mr. Winthrop. He needs to pay the price for killing my parents. Even if you’re not going to take care of him today, I’ll do it!” He had known the truth of what happened back then all along. His Uncle Toby, who pretended to treat him so well, was the real culprit of the murder of his parents, but Toby dared to frame it on Elspeth. Toby did all these things just to claim the Wilcox Family’s wealth and the Evil Wind Sect as his own.

If you’re smart enough, you should have figured out who will benefit from your parents’ deaths. Callum’s cold voice continued to linger in his mind, unwilling to dissipate.

He knew; he had known all along. This was the day he was waiting for. Even if he didn’t have enough power, he could make Toby pay with the help of others!

“Jaxon Wilcox, don’t let these people deceive you! We’re family. How could I possibly harm you?! Your parents died in an accident three years ago, but the one who caused the accident was Elspeth!”

If Elspeth had any strength left, she would have stood up and slapped him hard. What kind of nonsense is this?! I just happened to pass by at the time. Why would I, an underage girl still in school, kill Jaxon’s parents with no reason or motive?
